Matplot_properties - description of the Matplot entities properties

### Description

The Matplot entity is a leaf of the graphics entities hierarchy. It represents 2D plots of surface using colors and images (see `Matplot` and `Matplot1`).

  parent: This property contains the handle of the parent. The parent of the Matplot entity should be of the type `"Axes"`.
  children: This property contains a vector with the `children` of the handle. However, `Matplot` handles currently do not have any `children`.
  visible: This field contains the `visible` property value for the entity . It should be `"on"` or `"off"` . By default, the plot is visible, the value's property is `"on"`. If `"off"` the plot is not drawn on the screen.
  data: This field defines a [`m`x`n`] `color` data matrix using the current colormap. The color associated to `color(i,j)` is used do draw a small square of length 1 with center at location `(x=j,y=(m-i+1))`.
  user_data: This field can be use to store any scilab variable in the Matplot data structure, and to retreive it.

### Examples

       set("figure_style","new") //create a figure

       Matplot((1:xget("lastpattern")))
       e=gce(); // get current entity

       e.data=e.data($:-1:1) // reverse order
